Ever since my hair grew long enough to tie up (I got a buzz cut a couple of years ago for no good reason other than to have a buzz cut), I've been rocking the high ponytail like nobody's business. I might never let my hair down again. Ariana Grande can back me on this -- it's her signature look and a good one at that. Plus, it's fun, flirty, and -- best of all -- hides the dreaded day two (or three, or four) grease.
To keep it from looking like your average pony, try adding some curl to it -- it's super easy and gives it that extra something.

Get 'em ready for tying. When I want my ponytail a little more casual, I just use my fingers to drag all my strands to the crown of my head. When I want it a little dressier with less bumps, I lean back and let gravity do the work. Tie it all up, tight or loose -- your call!

I may have lied a little -- my hair isn't long enough to fully tie up. I pin up my shorter hairs with bobby pins in X-formations (it helps them grip more).

Starting at the base of your ponytail, tease all strands with a comb.
